(Chicago) Having come under fire after a heated CBS interview with Gayle King and the scathing documentary, "Surviving R. Kelly," the singer/songwriter is reportedly responding by marshaling star power from those who are sympathetic to his situation.
"The President knows just what it is to go through something like this," said Kelly in a press conference last Wednesday. "They won't stop coming after him for the things that he did, just because he's rich and powerful. People don't like to see your success, so they try to drag you down to their level. They'll use every trick in the book to make you pay for your crimes."
President Donald Trump is currently subject to an impeachment inquiry with the House of Representatives investigating his administration's dealings with the Ukraine. He has repeatedly called the inquiry a "witch hunt."
"Trump's got a hurt soul," Kelly went on to say. "His contribution to the music of my upcoming album, 'Pee Tapes Don't Mean Nothin'' is spiritual and important. You can hear the pain in his voice when he tries to say sentences. So much of the time, he can't even finish what he's saying because he just feels so under attack for all those things that he did."
The President, when asked about the upcoming collaborative project at a Rose Garden press conference, commented, "No collusion. People don't want to see- They really care- finding the e-mails is- listen people, there was absolutely not a quid pro climate change. All of the best people have said that my friends are- who, you know, R. Kelly - it's very sad. I love the gay blacksicans. Hillary's e-mails are out there in Russia and Bengazi. Everyone knows about it."
Yesterday, a preview track was released with an edited version of the comment cut with sound effects and Kelly providing backup singing. The track was reviled by representatives from the political left and right. Music aficionados, however, cannot stop praising it as "a revelation," "an entirely new genre of music," and saying "you know how powerful music has to be to make you feel like you've been peed on... and are okay enough with it to keep listening? It's that."
An administration official who refused to speak under oath or be identified in any way has rumored that Russian President Vladimir Putin has had a large amount of input on the project and has even had creative control over its release.
